What happened

Landlords applied for an order requiring Tenant to pay the rent that the Tenant owes. The N4 Notice served to the Tenant was invalid as it only gave 13 days notice instead of the required 14 days. However, the Landlords proceeded with the application seeking the arrears only.

The ruling

The Tenant shall pay the Landlords $1,006.00, which includes $820.00 in rent arrears for the period of December 10, 2021 to January 9, 2022, and $186.00 in application costs. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by December 5, 2022, the Tenant will start to owe simple interest at 4.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
